Packers @ Browns
In what could turn it to be the first in a series of swine flu bowls, the Packers travel to Cleveland in a must win situation. Hopefully the team is focused as they are one week away from hosting one of the craziest regular season games. I think this might be one of those games where Green Bay comes up firing on all cylinders, taking an early two score lead. Then the Browns fight back with a couple big plays closing the lead before half. Then either a sack/fumble or pick INT gives the Pack a good lead that holds up. Look for huge games by Rodgers, Clay Matthews, Kampmen, Woodsen, and hopefully Ryan Grant. (The guy is like six games overdue)
Things to watch:
- Clay Matthews playing in the city is old man starred for over 10 years.
- TJ Lang – fucking step up!
- Trap game – McCarthy better have his team focused for sunday and not looking ahead to next weeks Vikings/Favre showdown. This has happened before during McCarthy’s tenure
Packers 38-24
Vikings @ Steelers
Another pretty big game for the Vikes. Although it may not have playoff implications since its an AFC game, this has huge Legit-factor for the Vikes. I was hoping for some cold or inclement whether but Favre has lucked out in that regard. This will be fun to watch though its been a few weeks since Favre took some hits and the Steelers can bring it.
Things to watch:
- Favre vs Steelers 3-4 D – who cares about AP, I want to see Favre take a beating this game.
- Rothlesburger vs Vikings CBs – The Vikings pass D sans Winfield is pretty weak. Look for the Steelers to pass early and often…featuring long passes.
- Injury bug, Vikings – that’s all I’m saying
Steelers 29 Vikings 17
Bears @ Bengals
This will be a big test to the Bengals. Can they bounce back and prove to the rest of the NFL that the Bengals are here to stay? They also endured a big injury last week to Odom. Hopefully they can still sustain decent pressure with the four down lineman…like they could earlier against the Pack. This will probably be a damn good game. But I see the Bengals holding on after a Bears miscue or two…
Bengals 16 Bears 13
